Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

The middle-aged man stared at the fire chief with murderous intent on his face without saying a word.

The middle-aged man who was being stared at by him was already sweating profusely, feeling dizzy, and almost unable to stand.

In just a few dozen seconds, it seemed like several decades to the fire chief, so long that he couldn't help but want to scream.

Under the middle-aged man's death gaze, the fire chief finally started to think and immediately realized where he went wrong.

Even though he didn't know who the so-called Chu Longtu was, or what kind of status, power and authority he had, he had indeed made two fatal mistakes just now.

The first mistake was to rashly agree to capture Chu Longtu without fully investigating the enemy's background.

He didn't even know who Chu Longtu was, or what kind of status and power he had, but he rashly agreed to capture Chu Longtu. This was simply like running forward with his eyes blindly, and he might bump into something at any time.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles.

The fire chief made the mistake of rashly agreeing to deal with the enemy without fully investigating the enemy's background and whether he could afford to offend them.

It would be fine if Chu Longtu was just an ordinary person, but what if Chu Longtu was not an ordinary person, but a warrior with a very high status or very strong cultivation?

You know, can the person who can go against the Pei family, send people to beat Pei Xingchen so badly, and even be arrogant enough to blow down the Tianbo Building in broad daylight, be an ordinary person?

Even when Pei Xingchen didn't ask his own people to capture the other party, he rashly stood up for the Pei family. Did he really think that he didn't die fast enough?

When the fire chief realized this, he was almost scared to death.

He recalled how he had agreed to Pei Xingchen's words just now, and he almost wished he could travel back in time and slap himself twice to wake himself up completely.

Yes, with the Pei family's arrogance in Hedong, whenever someone provoked them, they would never ask the parliament to intervene. They would just kill the enemy themselves and never ask outsiders for help.

However, the Pei family, who were so arrogant and domineering, now asked them to capture Chu Longtu for them. This behavior was so obviously different from their arrogant style. How could there be no trick?

Either Chu Longtu is so powerful that even the Pei family dare not take the initiative to attack him, or Chu Longtu has some powerful background that even the Pei family is wary of, and wants others to take action to kill him with a borrowed knife.

He was so blinded by such an obvious flaw that he didn't notice it at all. He even made a second mistake that was even more stupid.

The second mistake was that the fire chief completely violated the rules by agreeing to arrest Chu Longtu without authorization. He agreed without the middle-aged man even saying a word, which was equivalent to making the decision for the middle-aged man. He did this without knowing what the middle-aged man was thinking and directly put the middle-aged man in a position of restraint.

He hadn't thought about it just now, what if the middle-aged man didn't want to catch Chu Longtu?

Or what other ideas do middle-aged men have?

He didn't think about anything and just agreed on the middle-aged man's behalf. How could he not make the middle-aged man angry?

You know, no matter what time it is, making decisions on behalf of your immediate superior without authorization will make your superior extremely angry.

If you were to have a more broad-minded boss, you would inevitably be severely criticized or even ignored for a period of time.

If you had a narrow-minded boss, you might not even know how you died!

The fire chief trembled more and more when he thought of the two serious mistakes he had made, especially under the death gaze of the middle-aged man. His legs began to become weak and he could not stand steadily.

"Pfft."

With a dull sound, the fire chief's knees went weak and he fell heavily to his knees on the ground. He lowered his head, sweating profusely, and bit his lips tightly without saying a word.

Although he didn't say anything, his actions showed that he had figured out his way, and he admitted his mistake to the middle-aged man in this humiliating way.

You know, there are not only the middle-aged man and the fire chief here, but also many people under the Hedong Council and representatives of other major forces in Hedong are watching.

If they saw him kneeling, the news would basically spread throughout Hedong in less than half an hour, and the fire chief would completely lose face.

No matter how insignificant the fire chief may seem to the real top brass, when looking at the entire Hedong, he is actually a big shot who has surpassed 95% of the people in Hedong and is looked up to by countless people.

And such a big shot who had great authority and whose words were law, actually knelt down in front of the middle-aged man in public.

Especially since there are many people from the fire department nearby, once this news gets out, the dignity and prestige accumulated by the fire chief over the years will be shattered in an instant and wiped out. He will no longer be feared or respected by others, and the halo around him will be completely shattered.

Without the halo and majesty, the fire chief is just an ordinary old man and no one would even look him in the eye.

It can be said that although the fire chief did not say anything when he knelt, his words were worth more than a thousand words.

The fire chief was using his lifelong reputation and background to express his sincerity to the middle-aged man and to show him that he knew he was wrong.

Only in this way can the murderous intent and anger in the middle-aged man's heart be eliminated, allowing him to pass the test smoothly without being held accountable later.

As the director of the fire department under the parliament, the fire chief who has worked in the parliament for so many years deeply understands the power that the chairman of the parliament holds.

As the assistant to the chairman of the parliament, the middle-aged man can leverage the halo and reputation of the chairman of the parliament behind him. What a huge power he can exert!

It is no exaggeration to say that it is not easy for the middle-aged man to step on the fire chief, but it does not take much effort either. It is really just a matter of a few words to make the fire chief fall directly from heaven to hell.

There is no need to do anything else, just find a random excuse to remove the fire chief from his current position to a low-ranking government office and make him sit on the bench.

Without power, the people who once surrounded the fire chief will disappear in an instant.

By then, the fire chief will no longer be able to resist the big hands from above, who can flatten or round him at will.
